Our Board of Directors
The Texas Hillel Board of Directors is a national board. Several of our board members served on the Texas Hillel Executive Cabinet when they were students at UT, and we have current students serving on the Board of Directors as well. The Board of Directors of the Texas Hillel Foundation is Distinct from the Texas Hillel Endowment Foundation board. The Directors are responsible for fiscal oversight, fundraising, and ensuring that Texas Hillel functions in consonance with its institutional mission and values.
